I had a religious marriage union, but I never legalized it. After a year of being married I gave birth to my daughter. For stupid and ignorant reasons my husband did not put his name on the birth certificate. We thought at that time we would get in trouble or they might go after him for money because we weren’t married. We were young and ignorant. After 3 years of marriage, he was murdered and I was left with just my daughter. She is going to be 18-years-old this year and she is receiving SSI survivors benefits since she was 2-years-old. How can I put her father’s name on the birth certificate after all of these years, even though he passed away?
This is in regard to a civil suit in the 3rd Circuit Court in New Jersey. It is against a municipality for selective enforcement and being denied my right to a speedy trial. It is against the town and their code enforcement people. The summons I received was for violating a ‘fill dirt ordinance’ that in fact does not exist. What must be sufficiently alleged in a complaint for it to survive attempts for dismissal and to proceed to trial? I am sure the town attorney will seek a dismissal for failing to properly plead my case. The proof I have is photographs of 23 other properties on my block at the same time who had more material brought in and were ignored for the same alleged offense. Only one other person got a warning. His warning was dismissed after the lawyer for his business recommended that he talk to a different lawyer who got his matter dismissed. His business lawyer was also the town Judge. Three others are close neighbors of the town engineer who instructed the code enforcement agency to issue a summons to me, but none to his neighbors or any others on my block. I am forced to proceed without a lawyer because I am broke from being out of work for 10 years. I lost 5 jobs due to trials taking insane amounts of time. My case was always dead last on the docket.
